Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hi Heidi, I use plantains often, get a nice very dark almost black one, it will still be rather firm. Scrub the skin real good and slice into 2 inch rounds leaving the skin on. Make a good spicy soup like one in the soup files or even the Mexican recipe files, and toss the rounds in. When the soup is done you serve in bowls with a round or two of the plantains, the skin will keep it from cooking up mushy. I also fire roast the whole head of garlic on the burner on high and toss into the soup while it's simmering. Eating nice garlic cloves on bread from the soup bowl and a plantain round is bliss............Donna Say a prayer for the common foot soldier Spare a thought for his back breaking work Say a prayer for his wife and his children Who burn the fires and who still till the earth Raise your glass to the hard working people Lets drink to the uncounted heads Lets think of the wavering millions Who need leaders but get gamblers instead Source: Salt of the Earth - Rolling Stones Messenger with Voice.
